  24. Even easier is the same car with an inline 6. I've owned a '55 Chevy w/ a
  25. V8 and currently own one with a 6. Piece of cake. You've got all that room
  26. because if something isn't needed to make the car run, it isn't there! Add
  27. that to the fact that family cars of the '50s and '60s were actually big
  28. enough to put a family in, and you've got a car that's both a pleasure to 
  29. work on and to drive.
